Good Morning,

Before submitting an RFS to the BTS, I am reaching out to the GNOME team in 
search of a Sponsor for my package. The primary GUI is a Nautilus Extension. 
Any further Desktop functionality will also be targeted at the GNOME Desktop 
Environment.

The tools add normalised support for "confidentiality labels". A few 
screenshots at the top of the GitHub Repo show quickly what the tool does (note the 
Classification column etc.) https://github.com/liturner/nmbs

Below is my drafted RFS (not yet submitted). If I do not receive a response 
within a week or so I will go the BTS route.

Thank you for your consideration in any case and have a great day!

Kind Regards,
Luke

Hi Luke,


A few more notes:

- d/changelog: Should only contain "Initial release (Closes: #XXXXX)"
 for the first release.




- you should add a upstream/metadata file
- Likewise for a watch file
- Documentation should got into a separate -doc package

I haven't had time to look more in-depth on this though.


Note that I won't have time to sponsor anything until end of this month.


best,

werdahias

thanks for you work. After a very quick glance at this package, wouldn't it make sense to split the nautilus extension into its own package? cf. nautilus-nextcloud. - d/control: you can already switch to debhelper 14, see man debhelper-compat-upgrade-checklist - The debian packaging itself should life separately from the main git repo IMO, i.e. on Debian salsa gitlab. - The source format should be 3.0 quilt, as this is not a Debian-specific package This could be just maintained as-is, though IMO could be moved to the GNOME Extras team, too.
